Some nice serving from FAA today, he's got a nice 2nd serve as well, more opportunities to start these points on the offensive.

 

[The Green Mile]

There's those forehands that we love to see from Daniil lol, 6/3 1st set to FAA.

 

[Smurph]

Stan holds for 3 all in the 3rd. Go Stan!

Med loves to be the spoiler so this isn't over. His final against De Minaur at Sydney this year was priceless.

The crowd supports Wawrinka strongly

Nestor / Popsicle take Set 1 over Lopez Lopez

 

[The Green Mile]

Big hold from Daniil, found many 1st serves in that game, saving a couple of BPs as well. 1-1.

Win or lose, I see a lot of upside from FAA. This guy has some serious game; great mover, a lot of firepower off both wings and some flashy moves ala french players like Tsonga.

Compared to Shapo, his return game seems a lot more complete too. Overall, will be an interesting next couple of years for Canadian tennis.

 

[The Green Mile]

Great way to save BP, nice to see the aggressive intent in almost every point FAA plays, transitioning forward well there...

For someone who just turned 18 today you wouldnt notice unless someone told you. HIs head seems very well put on for this match. I went upstairs after he took the 1st set, but was very impressed by his game, especially the last couple of set pints with his 2 handed returns

Why is Wawa standing so far back to return serve? He's not even in the shot on the stream I was watching.

Don't look now but Stan appears to be finding his mental and physical game at just the right time of year for a US Open redlining version to appear.

 

[NoleFam]

Stan survives!! Nadal next. I expect Nadal to come out like a totally different player than today and lay a beatdown on Stan. No way will Nadal let him squeeze through like Fucsovics just did.

He also looks in excellent shape. Like he can hang in a match for hours if necessary.

Stan vs. Rafa is must see tennis! OMG.

 

[Meles]

Med soaking this sheet up. Crowd giving him 0.0 applause and he takes the 2nd set over FAA. Med off the court now for MTO so should be great third set.

Diego has the upper hand in the 3rd over Querrey 2-0. Would make a very, very nice opponent for Nadal in QF should he come through.

 

[Meles]

He also looks in excellent shape. Like he can hang in a match for hours if necessary.

Stan vs. Rafa is must see tennis! OMG.

Glad to see it, but its geriatrics gone wild right now. Nadal broken five straight times against Paire. Stan barely able to beat journeyman ranked 50-100. Stan needs matches so glad to see him come through and he's got wildcard for Cincy next week.

 

[gogo]

Some nice serving by Felix to start of the 3rd set.

 

[NoleFam]

Felix gets the break. 3-1

 

[metsman]

unreal from felix, gotta hold now

 

[metsman]

felix's net skills are really respectable.

 

[The Green Mile]

Can't let up now, loose volley after setting it up so nicely, come on FAA...

 

[NoleFam]

felix's net skills are really respectable.

That last volley wasn't respectable though...lol. But I noticed in the doubles match that he has pretty decent hands for a youngster.

 

[stringertom]

Audrey is not in a dancing mood after eating a breadstick from Dark Helmet to close the three-set match.

Another tall tree to try to cut down to size in 3R vs Cilic. Marin will remember last year's USO loss in four and will be ready for the stress from Diego's ROS game.
